<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116122">@simulacrum</span> it would be great when you have time for you to look over the glossary that <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="125250">@Wesley Wiser</span> and I created.

<p>I think it's good - possibly missing self profile</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="224872">@rylev</span> just that the self profile page/data adds some additional bits and it's likely good to find canonical names for them</p>
